| Irvin Confirms Painkiller Use MMA Fiend: Irvin on Failed Drug Test: "Yeah, I did that shit." Quote:
So James Irvin has played the Hermes Franca card and just admitted he did it:
“In the days leading up to my fight with Anderson Silva (Pictures), I experienced some residual pain in my foot from a previous injury,” wrote Irvin in an Aug. 14 letter. “I made the extremely poor choice to take some pain medications that I did not have a prescription for. I realize this was an ignorant and dangerous decision.”

Even with the painkiller use, I still give Irvin props. He was the only guy that was willing to step-up and fight Anderson Silva on 5 weeks notice no less. So yea, I can give the guy a break.

But when it comes to being a descent human being, Southworth isn't on the top of my list. | Hope thats not based on the show, cuz everyone ive talked to thats met the guy says hes cool.. ive heard really bad stories about Stephan Bonnar though.

and i have respect for Irvin for coming clean, and hopefully his suspension is brought down a bit because of it...but at the same time, how many of these "poor and ignorant" decisions can be made by fighters? i mean shit, if this kinda crap keeps happening, the commisions are never gunna allow these guys to ever get licensed LOL
